Time has taken on a new sense these days. Working from home has warped my sense of time, and yet has leant itself to accomplishing so many things in the yard in what is actually a fairly short amount of time. I feel like we have accomplished as much in the last 3 months that…

Planter Box Trellis Build Plans
Here are the plans for building the trellis that can be added to the planter boxes I previously provided plans for. You can also use these plants to add trellis to existing planter boxes you may have, with a few adjustments to the measurements. LUMBER & SUPPLIES NEEDED 3 – 2” x 3” x 8’…
The Takeover
We have switched gears from building to growing…sort of. We are still doing some building but more of our focus in the last few weeks has been getting all of our plants into the ground and all of the irrigation run, checked and running. The only challenge was that we have so much more that…
Planter Build Plans
This is a little later than expected, but working from home and then writing blogs in my spare time can be a little daunting. Especially when the sun is shining and I desperately want to get outside and enjoy it. Below are the plans for each of the planters we built for our front garden….

I’ll start with our first side tracked project, our outdoor makeshift greenhouse. With the snow hitting early April, we didn’t want…
Doin’ the Shuffle
